Radiator bracket/cowl bolt
Turbo Mini Forums

Recently, due to bad engine harmonics and 2 not-just-quite-round wheels, my mini has been shrugging off nuts and bolts at an alarming rate! The latest victim was the bolt from the radiator bracket into the cowl (actually there's two but the other one is long gone). Minispares has the bushes and sleeves:

but they don't list any bolt other than:

but I'm nearly sure it's not the right one. Since mine came off, bounced off the road then off the Megan driving behind me I have nothing to compare it to. Does anyone know what thread it is or have a part number?

Thanks!

Is this what you need?

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

I use the grommets shown and a standard, short bolt with some oversize washers. that are about the size of the OD of the grommet.

The bolt you show on MS will not go through those grommets.

You just need a 1/4 UNF bolt, 3/4 or 1" long. Job done.

Grand, thanks guys. I'll vist my bolt supplier this week.
